Great Sooner win over Baylor, but was the Playoff Committee watching at all?
I guess there are some stories floating around that Art Briles may have said something less than flattering to Bob Stoops during their post game hand shake. So called “insiders” have said that is the case, but will not elaborate.
Wouldn’t surprise me. Arrogant prick. At his post game press conference he couldn’t bring himself to congratulate the Sooners. Closest he got to any praise for OU was saying that OU was a “good team but we made too many mistakes and they got out of here with a win.” Translation: “I don’t want to give OU any credit, we lost the game, OU didn’t win it.”
You know, sometimes that is the case. But not this time Art, and you know it. The Sooners came out with a chip on their shoulder and after Baylor’s first drive, punched the Bears in the mouth.
Whenever Baylor threatened to take the lead, the Sooners answered. And boy are the excuses coming out now. “Well, that was our back up quarterback.” That’s a very different story than what I heard before the game. All I heard from Baylor fans and Briles himself was that Stidham was ready. He isn’t your normal freshman back up. He enrolled in January and knows the offense. The offense won’t skip a beat. He’s better than Russell…and on and on. Whatever.
